No shortage of ballast for the four-foot here. Loading Sealion hoppers in Ribblehead Quarry on 30th August 1983.
A big Tonka Toy type truck loads stone into Sealions for transport later the next day.
At this time the quarry was owned by Amey.
It has now been re-designed with a new track layout and signalling system for the Limestone traffic flow with GBRf.
National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association Spring 2013 Shoot in Friendship, Indiana. This gentleman was beating the heat of the day by sitting under a tent roof in the primitive area of the event. Although he said he was concerned about breaking my camera (a commonly expressed concern), I thought he had an interesting looking face and thoughtful expression worthy of some shots. I'm glad he agreed to allow me to take his picture.

Barrington cement works, 3/7/96. We were supposed to be there for the steam, but the grubby resident diesels going about their everyday business made for the more satisfying pictures in my eyes.
A thank you card to Kathy W. She gave me this cute truck stamp for my birthday. I stamped it on pp from a MME 6 x 6 Lost and Found Rosy paper pad. I cut the sentiment using a stencil font with my new Silhouette Portrait that my hubby ordered for my birthday! TFL!

So, for this layout I looked through all my photos from the last few weeks and picked out the "things" that best characterized our lives right now. Truthfully, we're in a season of our lives right now where everything is about our kids and family life: Girl Scouts, science projects, Valentine's Day boxes, dinner, blankies, etc.
This was a fun prompt. It would be fun to do monthly.

LOAD11 - Walker's new look for 2017. Olympic Games was the prompt. The title is "Love You More" and journaling on the tag. Four circles, wood grain embellishments and four colors. The date-2017 is on the tag. I think I hit all five things.
This LOAD - my goal is to get a few pages done and enjoy the ride.

Labourer in Ahmedabad's Old City. Around his neck is a hook used for loading large items like bales of cotton, sacks of vegetables, etc. on & off trucks and carts.
Snuck in some scrapping tme to do a better job of this challenge - finished the LO and realised I never did use any of the blue paper I chose. LOL. My husband lost his Commanding ofiicer in 1999 and every year afterwards we got silver charm each for his daughters to let them know we were thinking of him on the anniversary of his death. These are the flowers of thanks his widow sent us- on the 10 year anniversary.

I had my camera out, but didn't realize I'd get a sort of colorful picture on this rainy day.
ODC-At The Back
We took a trip To Nichols, NY today and Stu picked up his brand new Double Bass. It was quite a trip, it rained all the way there and back!
The gaffer tape on this LO is pretty old - maybe not the oldest thing in my stash, but getting there. Old numbers, heart, and transparency too, and the butterflies are a RAK I won a while ago.

Took pondering all day about the prompt to come up with this. I am not much of a goal maker (which explains a lot) and not a deeply wise person, but I think I have passed on some fond memories and good habits to my children. I have loved cameras since childhood and when scrapbooking came into my life in 1993 it was a match made in heaven. I used word art and a digital kit called Being Me from The Digital Scrapper.
This has being residing at Craster harbour for a long time, Although very rusty it has all new split pins and good tyres, maybe still in use for something ?

Departing West Hampstead Thameslink with a service for Luton is Thameslink & Great Northern Class 319, 319456.
To coincide with the opening of Thameslink in 1988, Network SouthEast, the British Rail operator of the London commuter network, placed an order for 86 100mph dual-voltage electric multiple units to work services along the route from Bedford to Brighton. The task to build these trains fell upon BREL of York, with two batches built in 1987/88 and 1990. As mentioned, the intention of the Class 319 was its ability to operate both on 25kV AC Overhead Electrics on the Midland Mainline and on 750v DC 3rd Rail on the Southern Region.
In the 1980s, there were plans for a rail service that would link Bedford and Brighton. These services would cross London in a north-south direction, and thus became the first route for many years to cross London from north to south. These services were branded Thameslink by Network SouthEast, which operated the services.
Before the Thameslink service became operational in 1988, stations along the Midland Main Line north of London were served by Class 317 electric multiple units, introduced in 1981. This required the electrification using 25kV AC overhead wires of the line between Bedford and London St. Pancras and the branch to Moorgate. This service was therefore known colloquially as the "Bed-Pan" service. Key destinations included Bedford, Luton, St Albans, Moorgate, and London St. Pancras.
Their body shape is slightly different from contemporary electric units due to restrictions in the loading gauge in Kings Cross tunnel, which meant that other dual-voltage units were not suitable. They were also required to have Emergency end doors in the cabs, due to the twin single bore layout of Smithfield tunnel preventing normal train evacuation.
The first batch of 60 units, built in 1987/88, were classified as Class 319/0. Units were numbered in the range 319001 to 060 and had a maximum speed of 100mph. Each unit consisted of four carriages; two outer driving trailers, an intermediate motor with a roof-mounted Stone Faiveley AMBR pantograph and four DC GEC G315BZ traction motors (two per bogie), and an intermediate trailer housing a compressor, motor alternator and two toilets.
These units were built for long-distance cross-London services between Bedford and Brighton, using the Midland Main Line between Bedford and London, and the Brighton Main Line between London and Brighton. This service crosses London by means of the Snow Hill tunnel between Farringdon and London Blackfriars.
The second batch of 26 units, built in 1990, were classified Class 319/1. Units were numbered in the range 319161–186. The formation of the second batch of sets was similar to that of the earlier units, except there was provision for first-class seating in and the MSO vehicle was fitted with the roof-mounted, more modern Brecknell Willis High Speed pantograph design.
The Class 319's, apart from being humble electric multiple units, do have a celebrity distinction as being the first units to carry passengers through the Channel Tunnel on the 10th December, 1993, working to Calais-Fréthun yard. The units were chosen due to their dual-voltage capabilities, and units numbers 319008 and 319009 had their pantographs modified at Selhurst Depot beforehand to account for the higher OHL height at Cheriton and in the tunnel. For the subsequent "Folkestone 1994" event on 7th May, 1994, which saw the first paying members of the public taken into the tunnel by train. On 26th March, 1994, units 319008 and 319009 were named "Cheriton" and "Coquelles" respectively at Victoria and plaques adorned with the Union Flag and Tricolore were installed on their motor carriages.
Upon privatisation in 1994, the units were split between several operators. A majority of the fleet remained in the hands of new operator Thameslink, a subsidy of Govia, whilst 13 sets (319001 to 319013) fell into the hands of operator Connex South Central, which began using them on services between Gatwick Airport and Rugby on the West Coast Mainline via the West London Line. This service however was short lived, and upon the cessation of these trains, some of the units were deprived of their 25kV AC overhead equipment, although it has since has been refitted. Seven of the Class 319/0 sets (319014 to 319020) were converted into Class 319/2 units (319214 to 319220) and dedicated to Brighton Express services from London Victoria to Brighton. These units were refurbished by Railcare Wolverton to give them low-density interiors, a disabled toilet, and a special 'lounge' seating area in the saloon space below the pantograph in the MSO, where a buffet counter was provided.
When Class 377/3 units replaced them on Brighton Express services, the seven Class 319/2 units were allocated to peak-only London-Guildford via West Croydon and London-Horsham via Three Bridges services. Southern subleased its Class 319/0 units to First Capital Connect, as well as the Class 319/2 units which followed when Class 377 trains replaced them. The entire fleet has since been turned over to First Capital Connect and are now in the employ of Great Northern, Thameslink, the successor to FCC.
With the delivery of the Class 387's and the use of Class 377's by First Capital Connect and Thameslink & Great Northern, provision was made for spare sets to be transferred to the North of England as part of the electrification of the Manchester area, specifically the newly electrified route between Manchester and Liverpool via Newton-le-Willows. Currently, Northern possesses 12 units which began electric operations on the 5th March, 2015, with an intention of 20 units to be delivered overall. Future operations in the north will also include working services between Manchester/Liverpool and Preston/Blackpool once these routes have been electrified.
Just a layout about how my son makes the most of any moment to play...while following me from room to room!
